Freeze, gopher! Top 10 exclamations from 'Caddyshack'

Caddyshack might very well be the most quotable movie of the '80s. Disagree? Well, then your uncle molests collies. (See what I mean?) There's literally a use for every single line in the movie in your everyday life.

Today, however, I want to celebrate the exclamations of the 1980 comedy, much of which were ad-libbed by the actors because the script was written more with pencil than pen. There are a ton of great lines that come flying out of the mouths of Rodney Dangerfield, Ted Knight and Bill Murray -- and sadly very few from the very mellow Chevy Chase. But after much soul-searching and research -- and sadly eliminating a half dozen because they'd be inappropriate for publication -- I've managed to whittle them down.

The No. 1 exclamation, by the way, is one I use every. single. day. Fiddlesticks if you don't believe me.
